If Ooma does not provide 800 numbers, ( at at this point, they do not) you can surf the web for 800 providers. They charge a activation fee, and a monthly fee for the 800 number. Then there is a per minute fee, but the 800 number is directed to your home phone number, and the calls just ring to that number. Or you could direct them to your second home number, and set up your different ring tone. In any case, most actual 800 numbers are all tied up, so there is a high chance that you would get 877 or 866 or 888 number rather than the old simple 800 numbers.

I know ooma is looking to make money and think they should offer this feature as vonage does for an additional $5 a month w/ premier. I'd sign up in a heartbeat for premier to get a second line and the toll free service.

I agree it would make sense if Ooma can profit from it. Though maybe not as part of premium, but as an extra add on. Beyond the first phone number, Ooma charges $4.99 per month per line for more than a 2nd line even with premium.

Do you have to enter a pin number with Vonage 800 numbers? If so, then maybe the numbers are shared.
